The second victim who was killed earlier today in the deadly shooting attack near Eli was named as Uria Hartum, a 16-year-old high school student from the West Bank settlement of Dolev.
He is survived by his parents and five brothers, according to a statement by the Binyamin Regional Council.
Hartum had been hitching a ride with Yitzhak Zeiger, 57, who was also killed in the terror attack.
Zeiger, a volunteer with paramedic and rescue services organizations, was filling the car with gasoline when he was shot and killed, though he attempted to return fire, according to local authorities.
Hartum was killed as he sat inside the car.
